notice in the INDIAN CHIEFTAIN
of March 18th the platform of the
National party. The fourth sec
tion brings TO the notice of the vo-
ters (and that very correctly, too, }
the great success Of our educational
policy, which, is certainly the
greatest advancement in education,
morality and religion ever achiev.
ed by any nation that history gives
any account of in so short a time
IL has now been about one hun.
dred years since education com.
menced with the Cherokee Indians
but the greater part Of our ad
vanoement has been acquired in
the last fifty years. Now we have
hundreds of Cherokees that would
make respectable Legislators in any
of the states and a great many
Cherokees that would make com
petent members of congress.
With these facts before us, We
ask why it is that the Nationa
party has selected man who i.
uneducated, and in no wise can he

Cherokee people ? Mr.. Bunch i,

ters, with the great advancement
attained, then, if the majority o
the voters elect Mr.. Bunch theil
principal chief, what then will oul
schools amount to2 1t only
proves that education is farce
and that the Cherokees do no'
wish an educated, talented man fol
their governor.
The seventh section of the Ma
tional platform has reference t.
equal rights of citizens adopted by
treaty and proposes to invite a ref
erence to some judicial tribuna
to decide the points at issue

face with a shout of defiance and
the rallying cry Of self defense and
self preservation, but they know
full well that he is not the expon-
ent Of the sentiments of any re-
spectacle class of people compos-
ing the population of the Cherokee
nation. They know that adopted
whites, Indians and freedmen will
not ignore the historic fact that all
the rights and privileges they en-
Joy under their constitution and
treaties emanated directly and ex-
clusively from them and that the
plank in the platform of the Ma
tional party which pledges equal
rights to them with native Chero-

make a person liable TO arrest and
prosecution under act of the Ma
tional council, approved November
26th, 1888 ?" Can it be that he
is using this rs a sort of scare-crow
to the citizens who take a drink
now and then, so that he and his
may have more Of the "white
mule" for their own use ? Surely
that is not so. Seeing no notice
taken Of these violations of our
laws, what can be expected of the
rising generation Of young men ?
Our law makers certainly do not
expect that whoa we young lads
read section 2S, page lS9, compiled
laws, that we are to tL-n away and
say these are words iumbled to-
gether under a section but they
have no meaning. IL NAY be
that younger minds cannot COM
prehend the meaning of such laws.
If this is the case, then we are
prompted by ignorance TO regard
drunken officer on the streets as
violation of this law, and to re-
gard malteasance of this nature as
rendering an officer incompetent
for his office, to say nothing of
welding authority over his sub
jects. As long as such acts are
tolerated by the "powers that be"
we can but feel a growing lawless-
ness in our nation, a departure of
all reverence and shameless dis
regard for the laws and authorities
of our country. So long as our
officers will drink and carouse with
those who are disposed to deal
with this "accursed stuff :" so long
as men abuse public trust in this
manner, we can expect to witness
resistance to all authority and the
trampling under foot of any re-
quirement made by them who do
not "practice what they preach" "
If this does not find its way TO
the waste-basket you may hear
from us again. BoNA-F1DE.

CITIZEN RIGHTS.

1t seems that our authorities will
never recognize, in the management
of public matters, that there are
two contracting parties to all of
our treaties, and that any question
in relation to their construction is
a subject of further agreement be-
tween them. Concessions made by
either party need no explanation
to define their intent where no
conditions are imposed, or where
authority is given to do certain
things, in plain terms. The right
of the national council to construe
all acknowledged treaties is a
proper, as well rs a constitutional
right, and there is no derogation
of authority if done jointly with
the other contracting party. As
far as the exercise of any conceded
right is concerned, further agree
ment as to such exercise is unnec-
essary, but where construction be-
comes necessary in order to deter
mine the true intent of any provis-
ion, or to limit the meaning of a
provision, mutual consent to such
action must be had. Such seems
TO be the condition of things, if we
accept Commissioner Atkins late
letter to the secretary of the inte-
rior in relation to the joint COM
mission on citizenship as authori-
ty. Rights OF native Cherokees
can be no question for legislation,
without determining the rights of
the Delawares and Shawnees and
of the colored citizen, because, as
the treaty provides, their rights
are the same, and any attempt to
make them less at once requires
the consent of the United States to
such definition, before it can be
considered to be final. The joint
resolution to define the rights of
the Delawares, Shawnees and col
ored citizens can never gain recog-
milton by the government if we
take Commissioner Atkins letter
as authority. The authority con-
suited for so doing was our con-
stitution, which il taken independ-
emily of the treaty, is correct, but
there is another party to the trea-
ty. that claims the rights likewise
TO construe all acknowledged trea-
ties. Hence the conflict and hence
the necessity for agreement
between the contracting parties to
the treaties.
